Welcome to Nakkertok

Hi all,

Mike and I arrived in Whitehorse late Monday night. Since then we have been testing waxes, checking out the ski trails, sight seeing, and hanging out with giant furry northern animals. It has been a blast but we are very much looking forward to the team arriving tomorrow night.

For many of you the race season is over but that doesn't mean the ski season is!
Spring skiing often offers the best conditions to improve your skate skiing before the rollerski season begins.

Practices this Week
Wed (tonight) we have regularly scheduled practice at Nakkertok South
Sat practice will move to P9. This will make it easier for the athletes doing the Cookiebeiner.  Please arrive around 8:45 so that we'll be ready to ski when the Cookiebeiner starts at 9:00am.
Both days will be skate.
Coach Bryan (and others) will be on hand to lead you through the fun!

Back from Whistler in time to join Stefani's final Jackrabbit picnic on Sunday up at Nakkertok.  What a gorgeous day to be skiing.  I was lucky enough to also fit in a personal ski.  Was thrilled to see how much snow there still is here.  A few bare spots inspired me to shovel snow last night before the freeze-up.  I knew Marc was grooming overnight, so went back to check it out this morning.  And I have to say " the skiing at Nakkertok couldn't be better ".  This is on the upper trails, above the stadium up on the ridge and beyond.   The highlight though, are the trails north of the OWL Cabin, as there seems to be twice as much snow in this upper reach.  Marc groomed the Morral Loop wide enough to allow a skate track next to the classic - spring skiing at it's best.

Please let the Ottawa ski community know about this 'hidden gem'  - that they can still fit in a Nakkertok ski this season !

ps.....Dirk remains out west - in full grooming / organizing grooming mode for the Para Olympics.  His role is not an envious one.  The lack of sleep is the difficult part as he has to connect with both the TD's and his grooming team.  He's doing a great job, but will get his 'holiday' once he's home.

Cheers!
